Mount & Blade: Wind of War

Chapter 61: One month of hard work, two promotions

"Fuck you bastard, what on earth are we doing here? We don't go home, but we play here every day playing with stones?"

At night, in the camping site, a stout man sitting by the campfire slammed the toast in his hand on the ground, his eyes red.

However, he was quickly pushed to sit down by his companions around him, because his behavior had attracted the attention of many Redwood Town soldiers around him.

Now, the soldiers of Redwood Town live in the same camp with the slave traders, but they still naturally divide into their own small circles.

The spearmen and archers of Redwood Town may still be mixed together, and even the Haidam infantry will not be rejected, but the slave traders who recently joined are still unable to integrate into the circle of these people, just like the slave traders They will not drink and eat together with ogres and bugbears.

"Zorba, be honest, think about how Hawkeye and Gunnartha died. Do you think you are stronger than the two of them? What's more, Lord Rhodes is a noble and has always been with us. A nobleman can endure this hardship, what do you have to complain about?"

The one who scolded Zorba was a very senior man among the slave traders: Giordo. But even with Giordo here to suppress him, everyone in the slave-catching group still had an undercurrent of anger.

This is normal. Soldiers in Redwood Town can use Rhodes' system capabilities to gain experience and improve their own strength by constantly killing monsters.

This kind of strong feedback effect and visible progress is very addictive. In addition, the soldiers in Redwood Town have a religious belief in Rhodes, so no matter what Rhodes asks them to do, it is easy. Implementation was very smooth.

But these people in the slave-catching group are different. They have a complicated composition. They only followed Gunnather to seek money. They were forced to follow Rodhart. Their morale was already very low, and now they are trapped in the trap every day. It is inevitable that people will be upset if this damn place is stoned for a long time.

But at this moment, the vast majority of people in the entire camp are Redwood Town soldiers who are devoted to Rhodes. After getting along with each other these days, the slave traders have gradually become convinced of the terrifying fighting power of these people. Therefore, the slave traders headed by Jordo A group of people didn't dare to really do anything at all, and even consciously acted cautiously.

However, there will always be hot-headed people in any group, especially when Jordo mentioned Hawkeye and Boss Gunnather before, which aroused some thoughts among a few people who miss Gunnather.

It was dark at midnight, and Rhodes was thinking hard in his tent about the combination of bright fighting spirit and fiery swordsmanship.

Since the necromancer has spells such as skeleton resurrection, zombie summoning, ghost summoning, curse of weakness, curse of decay, banshee's cry, and resurrection of the dead, then there is no reason for the temple profession to have to use a tin can and slash with a sword. A.

The fiery swordsmanship that this body has practiced since childhood is fierce and blazing, and it is vaguely consistent with the Holy Light Qi and Heart Method internally and externally. Light is a form of flame, and flame is an expression of light.

Rhodes's martial arts talent is quite impressive. He has only seen him once, and he can simulate a similar effect with some application of his own fighting spirit. Although it comes at a heavy cost, the combination of the Holy Light Qi Mind Technique and the Fiery Sword Technique is still effective. Prospective.

"There is a Fire Sword style in the Fiery Swordsmanship. It only attacks but not defends. It only advances but does not retreat. It abandons all defenses and only pursues the ultimate lethality in a short period of time. If I can perfectly control the concentration of holy light, as a push, with one sword , Ghosts and spirits will not be left behind!”

Of course, the ghosts and gods that Rhodes imagined while holding the sword at this moment were skeletons, zombies, ghosts, etc., rather than actually practicing mental swordsmanship for two days and planning to embarrass those legendary beings.

That's not called a drill, that's called losing your mind and going crazy.

In the tent, Rhodes practiced swordsmanship with his eyes closed, while Kress was practicing calligraphy and working hard on taking military notes.

Goblin Abby added wood to the stove and made beds for Rod and Cress.

Rhodes wanted to train Kress into a female military aristocrat, so her homework became more and more arduous. Rhodes planned to improve Kress's intellectual attributes from both systematic and practical aspects. The little girl learned a lot during this period. Her head was about to explode. Just because this was the master's instruction and she was indeed more interested in military knowledge, she gritted her teeth and persisted.

However, Kress really didn't have the mental and physical ability to do her job as a maid anymore, so she brought Abby in to help.

Just when it was quiet and quiet in the tent, except for the occasional sound of sword wind breaking through the air and the sound of quill writing, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

Rhode lowered his sword, frowned and opened his eyes. Not long after, two young men with bruises and bruises were pressed in by several Redwood Town soldiers who were responsible for keeping watch.

"Lord, these two guys are sneaking up here with weapons, and they seem to want to do you harm!" When the words came to this, Mader, the team leader in charge of the night watch, was so angry that his teeth were itching.

If it weren't for the fact that killing is the lord's right, Mader would have directly killed the two guys next to him. He is one of the people who worships Rhodes the most in the army, almost worshiping him as a god.

At this time, there was chaos and commotion outside. Apparently, the slave traders who discovered that one of their own people had been kidnapped had a conflict with the Redwood Town soldiers who were suppressing them. If this was not handled well, the heavy cavalry team in Rhode's hands would be Wasted.

"Bring them both out with me." He glanced at the two bruised slave traders, and saw their purpose from their half-fearful and half-hateful eyes.

"Reality is not a game. Real captives are not so easy to subdue, especially for people who are unpredictable."

Seeing Rhodes coming out with a long sword, with the bruised slave traders being pressed down, the other slave traders who were already emotional shouted even louder.

However, the soldiers of Redwood Town around them really dared to use their spears and swords to greet them, so no matter how loud they shouted, they didn't dare to do anything.

"Boss Rhodes, what do you mean? We followed you to fight to the death, and your men treated us like this?"

One of the slave traders came out and pointed at the two people who were kneeling there after being beaten badly.

"Tell me, what do you want to do by coming to my tent with weapons at night?"

Rhodes suddenly turned around, knocked down a cunning-looking boy with a sword, and drew out his long sword to point it at the neck of another man with a clear look, and asked anxiously.

"We...we just want to kill you and avenge Boss Gunnarsor!" Under the oppression of the fear of death and the sharp gaze of Rhodes, the young man directly told the truth.

As soon as such words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

The soldiers of Redwood Town were so angry that they could hardly control themselves. The remaining slave traders did not dare to shout anything in this situation. In this situation, killing would be in vain. How could you tell the truth like this?

A spearman from Redwood Town could not control the rage in his heart. He rushed towards the kneeling young man with a spear and shield like a wild beast. At this moment, even the slave traders hoped that the offender would be killed directly, so that the matter would be settled and everyone would not be implicated.

However, the furious spearman felt a flash before his eyes, and the next moment he was stopped in his full charge.

He looked carefully, and who else could have stopped him if not his lord?

To this day, Rhode's actual use of strength is three times that of an ordinary person. If the fighting spirit is taken into account, this value will only be higher. For him at this time, it would certainly not be difficult to suppress the charge of a senior spearman who had not taken a few steps.

"Back off, I haven't decided yet, when do I need you to solve it for me?" After saying that, Rhode exerted a little force with his left hand, and the spearman felt an irresistible huge force coming in front of him, and his body fell to the ground uncontrollably, but he was not injured, so he quickly stood up again, just stood back in the team with his head down and stopped talking.

After doing this, Rhode did not make any decision immediately. Instead, he stared at the slave traders. For a long time, his eyes made all the slave traders present feel cold in their hearts.

Inevitably, they would be afraid of this powerful and terrifying man in front of them, and would vent their anger on everyone, and directly order his men to kill everyone.

"I will not kill anyone this time, and I will return the two of them to you. However, I want you to promise to be loyal to me with all your strength in the next two months. At the same time, I will also give you a promise that if anyone wants to leave after two months, I will never stop them, and I will also give you a truckload of goods."

These people in front of them were originally a captured army with low morale. If they were to kill two more people tonight, Rhode was really worried that they would trip him up in the next action. Now he would lure them with promises of huge profits. After two months, his plan would be completed, and it would not matter whether these people were still loyal to him.

Rhode's promise of huge profits and his act of letting the two offending young men go made the slave traders whisper to each other, and most of them kept nodding. They were originally seeking money, and they could probably calculate the value of Rhode's full truckload of goods, which was definitely a bloody profit for them.

"Master, are you really going to give them such a low price in two months?"

After the matter was over and they returned to the tent, the little girl Kress asked in confusion. In her opinion, it was too cheap for the slave traders.

"Sometimes, we will encounter some problems in life that we cannot solve for the time being. But Kress, you have to believe that as long as you keep moving forward, many problems that you originally thought were unsolvable can be solved in the process, or even without solving them, the problems will naturally disappear."

"What's more, with our current weapon consumption, even if we give them a cart of weapons in two months, how much will it be worth?"

"Yes, the weapons are worn out so badly during the training and fighting in Silent Hills. After two months, there may not be much left in the four carts of weapons." It was not until this moment that Kress's eyes lit up and reacted.

"But won't those guys make trouble because of this?"

"For the time being, even if they react, they won't make trouble again. We were surrounded tonight because those two idiots wanted to assassinate me to avenge Gunnarsor. Our people all have murderous intent in their eyes. With them as a deterrent, it's enough for me to be a good person. After hitting someone with a stick, I have to give him a sweet date. Kress, this is also a management method you need to understand and use skillfully in the future. Blindly exerting pressure or blindly showing goodwill are not smart choices."

Training level 4 soldiers was much more difficult than Rhode had imagined. With more than 90 people, Rhode endured more than a month in Silent Hills, chopping stones, chopping stones, chopping stones every day. There was no spoils of war, no financial gains, and even no blood and flesh flying around. In such a bitter and lonely environment, let alone the slave traders, even the morale of the soldiers in Redwood Town was slightly declining.

Fortunately, the previous incident stabilized the morale of the slave traders temporarily. After all, there was money to be made, and they would accept it even if there was a loss. Slave traders were originally a business of seeking wealth with their lives, and all the archers in the archery unit were Charr Wild Hunters, all the spearmen in the spearmen unit were Charr Senior Spearmen, and all the infantry units were Haidam Infantry. All the level 3 soldiers were promoted.

[Kill the Iron Knight of Vengeance, experience value +890]

[Kill the enemy general, and the morale of the enemy troops collapsed. The whole army is collapsing, the whole army is collapsing... You have obtained 168 dinars, the Broken Heart of Steel and other loot. 】

[Level Upgraded to Level 10]

[Attribute Point +1]

[Skill Point +1]

[Weapon Proficiency +10]

Shaking off the sweat on his cheeks, Rhodes panted and opened the system panel. Looking at his improved first aid and surgery skills, he felt relieved. In this way, in the next war, the death rate of his generals and soldiers can be greatly reduced.

The effect of the first aid skill is that you can replenish a certain amount of vitality for yourself and your generals after each battle, which is reflected in the recovery of spirit, physical strength, and injuries.

The effect of the surgery skill is that it can give your soldiers who are close to death an additional 4% chance of survival for each point. At the same time, the holy light qi and fighting spirit have a certain bonus effect on system skills.

Rhodes' skill system at this time is as follows:

[Name: Rhodes Hart

Level: 10

Strength: 14

Agility: 7+1 (improved in difficult battles)

Intelligence: 14+2 (added points in hard training this month)

Charm: 9+1 (as he grows older, he becomes more masculine)

Remaining attribute points: 0

Skills: Iron Bones 4, Power Attack 4, Weapon Mastery 2, Looting 1, Riding 3, Healing 4, Surgery 4, First Aid 4, Coaching 4, Tactics 3, Persuasion 1, Prisoner Management 1, Command 3.

Remaining skill points: 0

Weapon proficiency: One-handed weapons 74+24, two-handed weapons 72, long pole weapons 77, bows and arrows 31, crossbows 31, throwing 31, Fiery Swordsmanship 60+22, Holy Light Qi Heart Method 24+22. ]

Remaining weapon proficiency: 82

Except when he just came to this world and his self-protection ability was seriously insufficient, Rhodes almost never used this ability of weapon proficiency.

Because the higher the proficiency value, the more difficult it is to improve through combat or training. In order to maximize the benefits, Rhodes has always used the free points very carefully.

He is also a person with strong self-discipline, so there are still more than 80 points in the system panel that have not been used. He is ready to use them to overcome the bottleneck and make further progress when he can't practice a certain skill in the future.

"But now there is no way to keep it. If the next attack on the Mountain Fortress fails, all the blood and blood accumulated during this period will be lost, and there is no use keeping these proficiency points. What's more, the Holy Light Qi Heart Method is the most difficult to practice. I have found the trick and superimposed Fatis's epiphany to practice to the current level. It is hard to say what level 82 proficiency points can improve me to."
